Lose your mind and create a new one.

Why
do we have to break the habit of being ourselves, I asked Dr. Joe Dispenza
who I was interviewing last week on the radio. He talks fast, so get ready...

In
a nutshell… “the same thoughts result in the same choices, the same choices
result in the same behaviors, the same behaviors result in the same
experiences, the same experiences result in the same emotions, the same
emotions drive the same thoughts”, and around we go! You are stuck in a
conditioned program from the past forgetting not only that you created it but
that you are continuing to create it daily.

Your
personality creates your reality and your biology actually organizes itself to
reflect your thoughts. So new thoughts fired in the brain, wire together and
result in new behaviors, which result in new experiences, which result in new
emotions, and more new thoughts. This he calls evolution and says we can become
an entirely different self physiologically through this process. Makes me want
to send out the thought police to get myself in order.

Actually
if my outer world is a refection of my inner world the idea of a Thought
Clearing Boot Camp, isn’t bad. Gather a group of like-minded folk for a month,
move in together and literally re-wire ourselves. We would live for thirty days
as if the future reality we desire is already here. We would wake up to old
outdated thoughts and let go of old memorized emotions from the past and
instead cultivate what Dispenza calls ‘elevated emotions’ like gratitude and joy. The
protocol is his, birthed from his years of research as a neuroscientist. The boot camp idea is mine.

I
have done it before a few times when I was yearning for accelerated expansion.

Once
I created a Relationship Boot Camp with a man who was convinced he was in love
with me after only three months of communication. We met for the first time at
the start of our three-week self-created program. The worst that could happen I
figured was we would learn some great relationship skills. Long story, very
intense, and suffice to say that by the end of it he not only didn’t know if he
was in love, he didn’t know who he was.

Yup,
existential meltdown. At least it was at a wonderful beach house in Ucluelet
and we had two weeks of bliss before he succumbed to taking off his mask and
being floored by what he discovered. He had read lots of books on personal
transformation but just hadn’t worked with people so he had no tools to meet
himself authentically. For all of us that means loving our imperfections and he
wasn’t able at that time.

The
other time was Spiritual Boot Camp where my friend and I exchanged lists of
goals we wanted and couldn’t seem to achieve. The premise was that the other
person would have total control over our agenda for 30 days and the power to
dictate what we should do to attain what we said we wanted.

Did
it work? No.

But
what a riot watching one’s reactivity to being told what to do, even if it was
in the interest of what we said we wanted. Even the repetition of meditation,
exercise, good nutrition and emotional release didn’t create lasting change. At
best we grew our friendship and earned T-shirts that said “I cry more before 8
am than most people in a lifetime”. Tongue in cheek but true, as we cultivated
catharsis at 6 am, multi-tasking processing emotions with our physical workout.

What’s
different in Dispenza’s approach is the focus on thought, biology and creating
a body experience of a future reality as if it has already happened. The body
can’t tell the difference, he says, if you are biologically connected to a new
future. And if you are cultivating the emotions that would result if you had
what you wanted, the brain re-wires as if the experience has already happened.
You create new synaptic connections.

That
state then broadcasts a message to the quantum field that magnetizes to you in
form, your desire. Cool huh? Living ahead of time is living by the quantum law.
Physical evidence will show up in your life to support this.

Manifesting
101…testing 1…2…3!

I
think Buns and I have been doing our own versions of living this quantum law
already. Whenever we spark together and we take risks beyond our familiar
comfort zone, our joy or gratitude expands. In that moment we are broadcasting
a message to the quantum field. And when this transmission becomes an
unshakable habit, that is when dreams really do come true.

How it all began

Our sons were friends. Like brothers really. We mothers had never met but both our guys kept saying we should. Then Duncan passed away. It was through Marty's support of Buns' grieving her son that a deep friendship was forged.

Duncan inspired us. If his life, at 22, could get snuffed out like that, without any warning, then why wouldn't we live each day to the max ... grateful for every second, whether mundane or profound?

Really, we're not interested in writing just about the happy times. We are interested in also using the pain, the sorrow, the disappointments -- the realities of life -- to stretch and grow.

Inherent in everything that happens, at the heart of it lies love. Sometimes it doesn't look like love. We have to go through all the layers of ourselves authentically and feel them in order to reveal that essence.

But hey. It's not all serious. We have a blast. We go blindly into spontaneous adventures that some might consider reckless (Marty's word), or random (Buns' word), but regardless, whatever it is we are doing, we are awake and choosing to live out loud.

If you want to catch all the glorious details of the Buns and Marty escapades, you can start with our first post under Blog Archive (November 2010 -- Today has already been amazing -- and read the posts from bottom to top).

A BUNS & MARTY UPDATE!

Being big believers in "passion meets purpose", we want to support our writing addiction in a totally decadent, seriously fun way. We are working together and inspiring people to make significant lifestyle changes by sharing our experience with the most awesome nutritional and natural products. The side effects are so extreme they include a warning... increased energy, heightened clarity, improved athletic performance, youthful aging, and last but not least... weight release. And it includes chocolate! Yes, good for you, mood-stabilizing, vitamin B-infused, green tea chocolate. Seriously fun, seriously fine.
